The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the leading organization devoted to curing and controlling cystic fibrosis (CF), a life shortening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system causing serious complications.
With the support of the CFF, there have been significant advances in CF research and care over the past 50 years. The median survival age has improved from early childhood in the 1950s to 37 years today. Research is currently taking place that suggests it may be possible to actually repair the defective CF gene, which contains misfolded protein. It is believed that this approach to treatment could stop the cascading effects of CF and benefit other diseases such as Duchenes Muscular Dystrophy and some cancers. After more than 50 years of service, the CFF remains committed to its core mission – to assure a means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease.
